In 2021, we reached key milestones in our sustainability journey. For example, we solidified our climate commitment by having our carbon emission reduction targets approved and validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). An example of action taken to achieve these ambitious targets are the virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPA) that we recently signed both in Europe and the US, which mark a major step forward in our ambition to use 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
The external recognition from EcoVadis reflects the progress we are making in becoming the first choice for sustainable packaging solutions for our customers. Find out more about our EcoVadis rating here: ecovadis.com
